Bar Beach
Bar Beach is an ocean beach on the southern side of central Newcastle, NSW, described by Wikivoyage's Newcastle guide as regarded by many as the best of the beaches ringing the city, with "surfing and kite-surfing available." This fills a first NSW entry for the atlas, which currently has no New South Wales spots on file.
